A Message from the 2017-18 Booster Club

A Message from the 2017-18 Booster Club Presidents:

It is our great pleasure to support all Mount Vernon athletic programs by serving as Booster Club Presidents. With two children who participate in sports across all divisions, we believe that athletics is an important piece of the Mount Vernon experience. With 90% of our student body participating in some aspect of our athletic program, it is clear that our school community feels the same way.

A great athletic program does more than teach athletes about sports. It develops young men and women into contributing adults by teaching students about leadership, teamwork, and persistence. Being part of a team creates a stronger sense of community and allows students to build lifelong friendships. Personally, we each remember our coaches and teammates from middle and high school and value the impact each one of them has had on our lives.

The Booster Club is critical to the development of athletics by providing necessary equipment and enhancements. This year alone, the Booster Club has donated a portion of the lightning detection system, golf bags, lacrosse equipment, a new "gator" and a new camera system for the gym, which will allow games to be live-streamed. Plus, membership offers its share of fun activities for families: the football BBQ, Neon Night, Spring Sports Day and a Coaches Appreciation party.

On behalf of the Booster Club we would like to encourage every Mount Vernon family to join, no matter the age of your child(ren)! Your contributions and volunteer efforts will help build a solid foundation for now and in the future. We hope you enjoy the upcoming seasons and we thank you in advance for your support!
